Shield AI develops AI products for the protection of service members and civilians.
Shield AI was founded in 2015 by brothers Brandon Tseng and Ryan Tseng, along with Andrew Reiter, with Brandon Tseng drawing on his prior experience as a U.S. Navy SEAL to help shape the company's focus on building autonomous aircraft systems intended to keep military personnel out of harm's way during dangerous reconnaissance and combat missions, centered on the company's Hivemind software, an AI-driven autonomy platform designed to let uncrewed aircraft operate and make tactical decisions independently, including in communications-denied environments where connectivity to human operators may be unreliable or unavailable. Shield AI has continued to expand both its software licensing business and its own hardware products, including its V-BAT vertical-takeoff drone, while working to establish Hivemind as an autonomy platform that can be licensed and integrated across other companies' aircraft and military systems, reflecting an ambition to become foundational autonomy infrastructure for the broader defense industry rather than only a single-hardware-platform company. The company won a U.S. Air Force production contract in 2026 to implement Hivemind mission-autonomy software within a major aircraft program, moving its technology into a production-stage military application, and shortly afterward completed its acquisition of Aechelon Technology, adding simulation and synthetic-environment tools used for training and validating autonomous systems, following a $2 billion financing round at a $12.7 billion post-money valuation. In Augment's Q2 2026 Power 20 rankings, Shield AI rose two positions to #9, with activity on the Augment platform increasing 88.6% during the quarter and finishing as the single most actively traded name on the platform by completed trades, while its estimated secondary-market share price rose 3.2% to imply a market capitalization of approximately $11.0 billion, still below its most recent primary funding round valuation, a gap that reflects typical differences between primary funding round pricing and secondary market valuations and does not imply future price convergence. Its 2025 revenue reached approximately $300 million, up 72% year over year.
